NOTE: For uniform cutting, never push or force the

hair clipper through the hair at a fast speed.The

hair clipper works most efficiently when it works at

its own speed.

Adjustable Lever

The adjustable lever adds versatility to

your hair clipper by allowing you to

gradually change the closeness of your cut

without using an attachment comb.

When the lever is in the uppermost

position, the blade will give you the

closest cut.To increase the cutting length,

push the lever downward gradually.

The lever extends the variety of lengths

that can be achieved with each attachment

comb, by using the varying cutting edges

with each attachment comb.

Attachment Combs

Attachment combs should be fitted to

hair clipper by placing the top edge (comb

edge) of the attachment comb over the

top of the cutting blades.

Gently lift the tab at the other end of the

attachment comb and push down until a

click is heard.

Attachment Comb #1 – leaves hair

approx. 3mm (1/8") in length

Attachment Comb #2 – leaves hair

approx. 6mm (1/4") in length

Attachment Comb #3 – leaves hair

approx. 9mm (3/8") in length

Attachment Comb #4 – leaves hair

approx. 12mm (1/2") in length

Initially cut only a small amount of hair

until you become accustomed to the

length each attachment comb leaves the

hair.

It is suggested to try the longest

attachment comb on the hair clipper first,

then use the shorter one if a shorter

length is desired.

tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed,

comfortable grip to help you maintain

accurate cutting control.

fairly short cut if you use the #4

attachment comb.With the teeth flat

few haircuts.

closer cutting attachment combs. Comb

hair and check for uneven spots and

outline sideburns and neckline. (Diagram

and change attachments as illustrated.

Maintaining Your Kambrook

Hair Clipper

Cleaning

After you have finished using your hair

clipper rapidly move the adjustable lever

up and down a couple of times while the

hair clipper is still running, to remove any

hair that may be caught in between the

blades.Then switch off the appliance and

power outlet.Then unplug your hair

clipper and clean the blades with the

brush supplied.

Oiling

To maintain the hair clipper in peak

condition, the blades should be regularly

oiled before, during and after every

haircut.A substitute/replacement for the

clipper oil supplied in the kit is household

sewing machine oil.

NOTE: Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with

kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate

and leave the thick oil, which may slow down the

blade motion.

To oil the blades, gently squeeze a few

drops of oil between the blade teeth and

turn the clipper on, checking that the

clipper is running smoothly.

If the blades are dulled and have stopped

cutting,

eplace them with new blades
